Work Terms
I work from my home which is in the mountains of Korea a few miles south of the DMZ. I normally communicate with customers via email and Skype but can travel for face-to-face exchanges with clients who are on the Korean peninsula. My work hours are flexible based upon customer requirements and my existing commitments.
